Christ, our ascended Lord, Sends down his Spirit from on high,  According to his word. The Spirit by his heavenly breath,  New life creates within: He quickens sinners from the death  Of trespasses and sin. The things of Christ the Spirit takes,  And shows them unto men; The fallen soul his temple makes,  God's image stamps again Come, Holy Spirit, from above,  With thy celestial fire: Come, and with flames of zeal and love  Our hearts and tongues inspire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams have only the pigmentation of fact. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams have only the pigmentation of fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pray you, love, remember.

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17505]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we had thought that our hard climb out of that cruel valley led to some cool, green, and peaceful, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23572]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we had thought that our hard climb out of that cruel valley led to some cool, green, and peaceful, sunlit place but it's all jungle here, a wild and savage wilderness that's overrun with ruins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uncover when the flag goes by, boys, 'Tis freedom's starry banner that you greet,  Flag fames in song and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Uncover when the flag goes by, boys, 'Tis freedom's starry banner that you greet,  Flag fames in song and story   Long may it wave, old glory    The flag that has never known defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was big.

No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a little bit of nerves.
